Writing Fellowships: Letras Boricuas Fellowships for Puerto Rican Writers

A Fellowship Aimed at Supporting Puerto Rican Writers Across Literary Genres

Home to a rich literary tradition, Puerto Rico has produced some of today’s most celebrated writers, yet there are few dedicated platforms for the elevation and amplification of Puerto Rican literary voices, including funding to support artists in the field. The Letras Boricuas Fellowship aims to identify and connect writers from diverse backgrounds and identities who embody the vastness, diversity and complexity of Puerto Rican experiences.

What is the Letras Boricuas Fellowship?

The Letras Boricuas Fellowship is an opportunity sponsored by the Mellon Foundation and the Flamboyan Arts Fund that will impact 100 writers -20 selected in each of the five cohorts- with $25,000 per fellow.

Applications open from March 15, 2024-April 30, 2024.
